He also noted that Kim always ensures that her waist is snatched every Met Gala and this year was no exception. He said:

"I think that’s the look she was going for. Every year at the Met her waist gets smaller and I think it was on theme too… cause the body is the ultimate victim of time and the things we put it through to maintain the perception of its beauty can sometimes be extreme. Who better to tell that story than Kim?"
